All for Not
My husband went to be a savior,
Dare I say he had the right behavior?
Fight for the country that’s what they said!
But did they know they’d all be dead
Now I’m alone, my love is gone.
And I lay crying on till dawn
My frail heart does so wrench
My husband now sleeps amongst the trench.
Four months they said then it would be done!
But we long waited, for the return of a mother’s son.
Then the months turned into four long years,
And with each ship back, brought many tears,
On the terrible day the Great War had ended
My dear husband, should have attended,
The final ship that brought our troops back
But he did not survive the deadly attack.
My husband left his old mother,
My husband left his younger brother.
A family now so deeply broken,
Friends all dying, heartbroken,
Fear wretches through my heart
I feel I may just fall apart
He’s gone for good, the war’s to blame.
Will people even remember his first name?
